This is a very popular shrine with a long history, and every year when the New Year's bell rings, the shrine is crowded with visitors. The path leads from Torii to the main shrine, and on both sides of the path stands a large cedar tree that is about 600 years old, which is very impressive. In front of the shrine, there is a huge cedar tree with a trunk circumference of 5 meters and a height of 60 meters.
In June, fireflies fly around the torii of the shrine. They are like spirits in the forest of the shrine, and the fireflies' light spreads all over the area, blending in with the surrounding forest and the shrine in a touching way.
